Snap it Up

img_8038I’m not responding at the venue I found this but I am compelled to address it.

Submission has become as bitter as bile in the mouths of those who do not understand this God-given gift and sadly for these there is no vision for unwrapping or embracing this holy privilege. It is to them an undesirable mystery.
I hope I can help.

For the woman of GOD, submission is non-negotiable.
GOD expects it of us. Actually, He commands it.
And we cannot do well as daughter to Him, wife to husband, and mother to children, without Biblical submission.   And this is the whole of the bitterness to the women of the world and to many women of professing Christian faith.  It’s Biblical and it boils down to TRUST – not a lack of trust in the husband but of GOD Himself. 

The means and principles of living submission deserve a lengthy unfolding.

I’m not here to do that today.

I am here to plant a seed hoping it will take root and cause every woman who happens upon this page to reap a holy harvest as she digs deep and long into Scripture meeting the GOD who loves her on every page.
Additionally, there are some well-researched resources available. I am in the process of reading one of those resources now. Here check it out. Link

I also read this one. 51AM5FAXDRL._SX309_BO1,204,203,200_

And because it is out of print, it’s costly for a book so small but so HUGE.
I do advise keeping it in mind and should you find a copy in your budget, snap it up.

Let me close with this.
Biblical Submission is first Vertical and then horizontal – GOD is the Author and Finisher of submission both for the wife and the husband.

And yes submission is for the husband too.
Did you know that?
Do you know to whom he is commanded to submit?
By the Way, it’s not the wife — Go WAY Higher!

I hope you will start a detailed study to discover the means and principles of Biblical Submission right away.

Texas Teens

First, this is an opinion piece.
If your worldview is not a Biblical one, you might prefer to pass on reading any further.

I recently came across an article that I think I just can’t pass on.
There are some things I just need to say.
The Article found in The Washington Post is well-put-together and likely an emotionally stirring one. Many hours and much effort and planning were done to pull it together.

However, the subject article was not primarily written to tell us a story; it was written to shame and/or demonize people who dare to believe that abortion is the evil destruction not only of womb Babies but a train wreck for the girls and women who have them.

“Nearly 10 months into the Texas law, they have started having the babies they never planned to carry to term.”

I wonder if The Washington Post realizes it has placed in print confirmation that what some call a product of conception, this very article acknowledges a womb baby is indeed A BABY. A living human being.

Let me restate that, the article, perhaps inadvertently, acknowledges abortion kills living human beings.

Outside the womb so far we call intentionally killing an unadjudicated human being, murder.
(With the exception of Womb Babies, of course.)

“He’d thought about adoption, but Brooke wouldn’t even consider it.”

Please explain to me how it is that one will not consider adoption but killing the baby in the womb is somehow not only thinkable but preferred to giving the baby for adoption.

“There was only one way she could make sense of it, she said. Losing them now, as fully formed human beings, would be different from losing them back then.”

What heinous manipulation has been done by the abortion industry?

Babies have to be human beings in the womb to be human beings out of the womb.
The difference is MATURING.

Let’s look at maturity. Studies say the human brain is not fully developed until we are in our 20s, even up to the 30s.

What shall we do then with these fully formed human beings whose brain capacities are not sufficient to restrain them from premarital irresponsible sex, shall we kill them for their lack of human maturity? 

Absurd! Isn’t it?
But that is a reason given for killing Womb Babies – they are not fully formed (mature) human beings.

“Starting to panic, Brooke looked over at her mom. When she found out Brooke was pregnant, Terri Thomas told her daughter to get an abortion. While she was a devout Christian, going to church a few times a week and twice on Sundays, she had her own views on this particular issue.”

The article also contains other purported behaviors.
Let me say without hesitation TRUE REAL DEVOTED CHRISTIANS do NOT behave as “Christians” described in the article. 

I am weary of people parading as Christians.
It’s nauseating.
But GOD is gracious and IF they REPENT and turn FROM their sins TO HIM, he will forgive.

“If it wasn’t for the Texas law, Brooke knew she might not be standing here.”

If a Texas Abortion Law could prevent her from standing before a Justice of the Peace to get married, has she really improved her well-being by standing there? 

The only safe reason to stand before an officer of the Court to enter a marriage is because both the man and the woman are assured by GOD that He is joining them in a covenant of marriage. 

Have I addressed everything in the article? 
Probably not but perhaps if you have made it this far into my essay, you have something to think about if you choose to read the article offered below.

This Texas teen wanted an abortion. She now has twins.

Dual Citizenship

I am not inclined to say I am proud to be an American.

Hear me out, please.

You see I can make no claim to any action that gave me American citizenship.
My parents, my grandparents, and to my knowledge even my great-grandparents were born here as well.
Living here is a privilege I daily appreciate and I do not take it lightly.

I would not be here in this Land had not The GOD of Holy Scripture ordained me to be here. And it is to Him I pledge my allegiance forever and always.
And in my allegiance to Him, I am determined to seek to bring peace, kindness, and The Message of the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST to all who will to hear the message.
I know from His Word and my own experience that The GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST believed, embraced, and lived out is The Way to make America a great place to live.

For those who came before me and those who will come after me who have and shall embrace this same privilege and determination, I am indeed grateful and I am honored to be named among them.

Perhaps I’d be remiss if I failed to acknowledge that even the poorest American lives in luxury compared to most of the world’s peoples.
Why that is I am not here to debate.
It’s just an observation and a statement of yearning for people to count the cost and under GOD seek to learn His Riches are far more worthy of our pursuits.
And one more thought: Freedom in The Messiah is Eternal – lasting long beyond this American Sod.

So, however, you decide to spend this day, please remember if you are an American Citizen and if you have CITIZENSHIP IN HEAVEN, you are here (and will be THERE) by the Grace of Almighty GOD — don’t waste it.
